Is this a ficus? Please help ID

11 years ago

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to ID the tree in these series of photos for a while now. The first is from Kuai'i, Hawai'i and the second from either Havana or Cienfuegos, Cuba. Is it a ficus? If so, which one(s)? If not, what is it?
Any help is appreciated,
Hunter

They do look like Ficus, but a bit difficult to tell for sure from those photos. There's several hundred species so ID can be a bit difficult. Were any of them fruiting? They have a distinctive fruit.

As far as I know none were fruiting. Any other ways to ID?
